A netizen on X has cooked Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader, who has retracted and apologised to the Minister for the Interior, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, over allegations of fraud he made on the ongoing security service recruitment process.
According to the netizen identified as Blaque Gatsby, Afenyo-Markin is a disgrace to the institution of parliament, his position, the party he leads, his constituents, and those who look up to him.
He stressed that with the whole world watching, Afebyo-Markin embarrassed himself on national television when he chose to lie to make the government look bad.
In a post shared on X, the netizen stated, “You are a disgrace to the institution of parliament, your position, the party you lead, your constituents, those who look up to you, and the entire world watching you embarrass yourself on national television on the floor during one of the most critical moments.
You could have seized the moment to inspire hope and motivate your base, but instead, you chose to lie through your teeth with a smile on your face.
For what purpose? So the government appears bad, and your incompetent party looks good?
Any youth who saw hope in you has wasted their time. But I don’t blame you—lying has become the new identity of the NPP. You have lowered the office of Minority Leader so much that anyone who takes over after you are sacked will suffer the consequences of your actions”.
His comments follow, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader, who has retracted and apologised to the Minister for the Interior, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, over allegations of fraud he made on the ongoing security service recruitment process.
The minority leader’s apology follows the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Bernard Ahiafor, who referred the issue to the Privileges Committee over contempt charges.
During parliamentary proceedings on Wednesday, March 4, Afenyo-Markin formally withdrew the comments and expressed regret over the matter.
According to him, he did not do that to hurt or to tarnish the reputation of Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka.

The minority leader demanded that the Privileges Committee of Parliament hearing on the matter be made in the full glare of the public.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament, Afenyo-Markin stated, “Honourable Minister of Interior, I am not too sure you want us to pursue this matter. I repeat, because you and I know what we know. Let the referral be made, let there be a public hearing. Let Afenyo-Markin, who these days is seen as perhaps, according to the allegation, saying something untruthful, and because of that, it is a breach of parliamentary privilege. Mr Speaker, you have the wisdom to exercise discretion.
“I will avail myself, should you exercise that discretion, to a public hearing, and then the matter can be brought to a peaceful rest”, he added.
